I’ve been thinking about how much perseverance it takes to be an artist, writer anything really.

As a writer, you have to persevere and wait a lot for people to get back to you, and to persevere through everything. You need to be dedicated to your work and value it when it is unknown. It is true in any passion or pursuit, whether it is sport, art, academia, or anything you really wish to become, it all takes perseverance.

So I found this beautiful quote from Martin Luther King Jnr. Today, whatever you are doing whether it is being a good friend or doing good to others, or fighting a righteous fight for the benefit of others, or being a good parent. Persevere. I am encouraging myself also, in my writing dreams and pursuits. 😄 Go well, have a lovely day.
